Ah bah :(

Well if it makes you feel better, I currently have skinning and herbalism on my warrior which are basically useless.... Even mining would at least benefit my tanking :) I hate professions...

Yeah that sucks. Luckily both JC and Encahnting are still very good professions for raiding.

What upgrade? I'm a level 450 tailor, haven't seen anything worthwhile. Nearly all professions give approximately +38Sp in some way or other. For example, jcs can make 3 runed dragon's eyes, worth about +38sp, enchanters can enchant +19sp on two rings, etc.

Lightweave Embroidery is the best caster cloak enchant at the moment.

A.

Lol at all that useless improvement, I can heal my tank for 500 damage over 60 seconds thanks to herbalism!

The new lightweave embroidery is quite nifty - gives you a 50% chance to proc +250 SP for 15 seconds - basically procs about once every minute for 15 seconds. Equates to about 62.5 spell power bonus, minus the 23 haste enchant you would have had. If u argue that 1 haste = 1 spell power it is then equivalent to about 39.5 spell power bonus, altough for some builds haste is less useful than spell power. If u have tailoring just keep it for dps. Worst case scenario the SP bonus equals any other other professions, but is likely a bit better.

is now the right time to tell you that JC will be nerfed?

blargh. I suppose the lesson is not to chase professions for bonuses. I dont mind the whole idea of taking away the prismatic quality of the gems so much... that does seem to be quite a bit better than the other professions. However, if they do not upgrade the JC gems after epic gems are introduced, it will be a bit rough.

Yeah, it will be time to level blacksmithing then :)

I am pretty sure blizzard will come with a solution, probably some new JC patterns self only. They work pretty hard on keeping the crafts balanced.
